Ajax announced Erik ten Hag's departure from the club with a clip of the new Manchester United boss embracing Cristiano Ronaldo.
United confirmed Ten Hag's appointment on Thursday as the Dutchman signed a three-year deal, with an option of a fourth, to become the new Red Devils manager. Ten Hag will see out the current campaign with the Amsterdam giants before arriving in the summer, taking over from interim boss Ralf Rangnick, who is set to take a consultancy role.
Ajax also confirmed the news on their end and appeared to pass on their well wishes to the 52-year-old as they shared footage on TikTok of the manager and Ronaldo when he played for Juventus during a Champions League quarter-final clash in 2018/19.
